Another year, another Valentine.

Thursday, February 14, 2013


"We are as happy as people can be, without making themselves ridiculous, and might be
even happier; but, as a matter of taste, we choose to stop short at this point."

- Nathaniel Hawthorne


Happy Valentine's Day to each and every one of you. But especially to Fin. Can we call this your card? (Oops.)


(Last year.) (The year before.)


Quotation from a letter to the author's sister via Writer's Almanac. Image taken on my walk to work this morning (follow me on instagram). Someone had strung paper heart garlands all around a public park. It was lovely and made me feel slightly inadequate.

    I'm totally copying this quote for my card to John. Thank you.

    Signed, clearly a true romantic
